I'm having trouble finding his Faber & Faber reprints in the US. I just had to order Dark Entries from the UK via Amazon. Anyone find a place in the US that's selling them online?

Whenever I want to buy British editions (I live in the US) I order them from Book Depository.

For example... Dark Entries : Paperback : Robert Aickman : 9780571311774

Re: Robert Aickman
 

Does anyone know what the score is withe Faber & Faber releases of 'The Model' and 'The Late Breakfasters'? They should both have been out last thursday but so far zilch.

Re: Robert Aickman
 

Looks like they're available at the Book Depository:

The Model : Paperback : Robert Aickman : 9780571316823
The Late Breakfasters : Paperback : Robert Aickman : 9780571316847

Edit: Looks like The Late Breakfasters is sold out temporarily at most places.

Re: Robert Aickman
 

If anyone has acquired and read Faber's The Model or The Late Breakfasters, I'd be grateful if you would tell me if they're full of typos and punctuation errors like the previously (re)published Faber Aickman collections.

Recent article about Aickman in The Independent:
Robert Aickmans cult horror books are being resurrected for the centenary of his birth - Features - Books - The Independent
It's news to me that he reviewed films. Does anyone know if any have been published?

Re: Robert Aickman
 

Robert Aickman reports in The River Runs Uphill that he wrote film reviews for The Jewish Monthly (as well as reviews for Lord Harewood's magazine Opera.) There do not appear to be more than a very few, however.

An interesting article by Laird Barron about 'The Hospice' here: http://weirdfictionreview.com/2014/1...obert-aickman/

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson:

"Sir, Laird Barron's commenting on Robert Aickman is like a dog walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

Something I wrote in 2013 on my blog:

"I don’t want to harp on about this, but I genuinely think that – at least in
part – that The Hospice (and Into The Wood?) forms a tribute to ‘The Magic
Mountain’ by Thomas Mann and covers many of its themes which you can tick off
one by one. And I think we know that Thomas Mann was one of Aickman’s major
influences according to his letters. But I have been the first to decry this biographical
type of literary criticism based on my life-long interest in the Intentional Fallacy!
So I am torn."

My original real-time review of 'The Magic Mountain' (including comparison with Aickman) started here:
